Instant Potato Shortage?

[Rilo]

I was at the supermarket earlier today and they had a sign posted by the instant mashed potatoes basically stating due to poor weather there was a dehydrated potato shortage and they were limited to what they currently had in stock. I picked up five boxes even though I really don't care for plain instant mashed potatoes. I figured I could use it to stretch flour or baking mix. When I got home I searched around, but couldn't find any information other than about general potato shortages. Has anyone else heard anything? In any case I thought I'd pass it along in case anyone does store dehydrated potatoes.

I worked at a mexican rest. many many years ago, and was told that they mixed it with their ground beef to strech it. I don't know if this is true or not, just something that I was told.

You can always make your own if you have a dehydrator and a food processor. I do it all the time, and its about 1/10th the cost of buying it at the store.
